Camping: Wangquanyu Great Wall 2 Days Hike
We know there are some very famous GreatWall for camping. But we choose Wanquanyu GreatWall for considering it is an unique route and not officially open to the public which means probably we are the only group camping there. Also the route is friendly and the view is awesome as well.
Wangquanyu Great Wall is located in Huairou. It had been rebuilt based on Qin Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty. It took more than 170 years. If you’re a Great Wall geek and you have been to Jiankou, Dazhenyu, these parts are all in a series. At the end of wall, it is a cliff. You can see there is a 100 meter's wall ending. As local people said that when this section of the Great Wall was reinforced during the Ming Dynasty, due to an error in the terrain survey, the construction was stopped. Because it went very far and it was in the wrong direction. Therefore, some people also call it the Wrong Great Wall. Some people also say that this section of the Great Wall was originally planned to be built up to the Mountain where the "Jiankou" is located, but after it was built here, it was found that the mountain was too high and dangerous to build any higher, so the construction route had to be changed.
